In the summer of 2010, shortly after my second son was born, I took to the roads using the Couch to 5K program. I loved it. I was feeling strong, and improving all the time. And then? Winter happened. What is happening now is the fight to reclaim the endurance and fitness that I lost in the worst winter (weather wise) that I can remember!!

30 Days of Thanks - Day 4 (a day late)

Last night my school hosted auditions for the 7th and 8th grade honors music festival.

It went very well, and I learned an awful lot.

I am really, really glad that it is over.

Yesterday was chaos in preparation, and I did not get home (with my two sons!) until 10pm last night. I slept through my alarm this morning and haven't had any coffee yet.

I am working on the solution to that last one right now!

So.

What am I thankful for?

Being able to cross things OFF of my to do list.

I am grateful for the abundance of help that we had last night.

I am grateful for my high school students that came over and helped and took over in areas that needed it. I am grateful for the parents that baked yummy treats, and for my friend Sharon for taking ownership of the concessions part of the evening.

Did I mention that I learned a lot? We have hosted the actual festivals before, but not auditions. They are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. We had WAY TOO MUCH FOOD. :( Oh well. Learning experience. I just hope that at the end of the day we even made a profit!
